The ruling on fasting part of Ramadan on behalf of a deceased person
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Regarding the person who died in the middle of Ramadan. The questioner says: We and his seven children would like to fast the second part of Ramadan on his behalf, because he died on the fifteenth of Ramadan and passed away into the mercy of Allah. Do we fast on his behalf, or do we make up the fasts?
Answer:
No, what he did not reach is not made up on his behalf. Rather, it is fasted on his behalf if he reached the entire month of Ramadan and died before making up what he had broken from it. As for if he died during Ramadan, or if he was afflicted with an illness that continued with him until he died in it, then he owes nothing and it is not made up on his behalf. Yes.
